Another week, another flurry of faux fur, safety eyes and stringy bits! It’s also been a week filled with funerals, christenings, school holiday p.j mornings, yoga fails, generous servings chocolate (spy-style in my pantry hideout so I don’t have to share), wine, chocolate, whiskey, friends…. did I mention chocolate? This week I wanted to show you just what comes with your Toy.

You’ll know this is an Awaken the Toy box thanks to that big old badge.

So what is in the box? When you receive your order, whether it is an original piece made from your child’s artwork, or a piece from our Abby & Lee line, you will be greeted with subtle colours that purposefully contrast with the colour explosion that may be your Toy.

Hello, it’s me. I was wondering if you were home to be my new family. To have cuddles, and everything. They say that getting mail is exciting. But its only just begun… (It’s late, I’m tired. Sorry Adele.) When it arrives home, your new Toy won’t start singing but it will be packaged in a lovely white box. At Awaken the Toys, branding is important.

Your Toy will be snuggled in white tissue papers and tied up with a classic red and white bakers twine. All Toy cleaning and living instructions will be attached, so please do read them! You also don’t want to throw out that box before opening your Toys birth certificate, it will be in there somewhere. If you have purchased a Toy from your child’s artwork checkout the bonus stats card with a brief Toy description and a few other bits of information (no pictures included, need to keep something a secret…. ok I forgot to take a pic).

I also try to feature as many Toys created on the blog so you get a richer backstory. It’s all about the experience, your Toy is special, made with care, patience and no swearing words beginning with F… or any other letter of the alphabet…

It’s not just about making a Toy to treasure, it’s also the pleasure of unwrapping your Toy and getting those little extras that makes Awaken the Toys awesome and oh so swanky.
